Nutshell Songtext

von Phife Dawg

Yo I'm Mike G from the Jungle Brothers, youknowI'msayin', and Phife is the 5 Foot Fighter
Posdnuos, Plug 1 from the group De La Soul. And Phife to me in a nutshell. He's my brother
I'm Jarobi White from A Tribe Called Quest
Man it's the Soul Brother #1 and Phife is my brother
I love Phife to death. I'd do anything for that motherfucker

Uhm...
Uhm...

The undefeated, unblemished, underrated
Unfiltered, unafraid, unaffected
Undaunted, unabashed, the undeniable
Untouchable, unstoppable, unusual
Underdog, unsurpassed, unyielding
Unsupportive, fuck you and your feelings
Unrelenting, unscathed, uncontrollable
Unpleasant one, problem with me? Feelin' is mutual
Hah, and that's just me in a nutshell

Uncentered, unchanging, unbreakable
Unconscious, uncouth, unbearable
Unmerciful, unexplainable, unemotional
Uninterested when dealing with unoriginals
Unaccustomed to unproven whack flows
Unresponsive to unapproved stage shows
That's unacceptable, unexciting, lazy fucker
Phife the uncanny, uncommon rhyme spitter

Hah yeah, that's just me in a nutshell
Nutshell, nutshell, nutshell
Said, that's just me in a nutshell
Five Footer in a mothafuckin' nutshell

Peep the rebirth of the reborn as I rebuild
Reconnect with this rebel, redefining raw skill
I realign, readjusted, refocused
Reanalyzed what's real versus bullshit
Had to refuel, reactivate to reemerge
Reevaluate, recalculate, bitch I return
Redefine, re-energize, get reacquainted
Read 'em kids incorporated, roots we made it

Invulnerable, inviting, invincible
Inventive one, which leaves most in-viable
Get involved, invest in these youths kid
Invigorate, induce that old realness
Insecure, nah, more like inhumane, it's not a game
Shut your mouth, use your inner voice, stay in your lane
Inaugurate those with incentive to innovate
Insistent that those who inspire we will initiate

What? and that's just me in a nutshell
Nutshell, nutshell, nutshell
Hah, Phife Dawg in a nutshell
Know you're trying us in a nutshell

Who's that?
Five Footer... Phife
We're winning for the Phifer
One thousand, unstoppable
Give me the microphone right
It seems like it's my turn again
When's the last time you heard of any gladiator...
Hey sucka nigga, wherever you are

Rakim: You already know man, it's God Ra man. My man Phife to me in a nutshell? The streets man
Ali Shaheed Muhammad: Ali Shaheed Muhammad. You know. Phife in a nutshell? Direct like a missile, you know

Peep the rebirth of the reborn as I rebuild
Reconnect with this rebel, redefining raw skill
I redefine, realign, refocused
Reanalyzed what's real versus bullshit
Had to refuel, reactivate to reemerge
Reevaluate, recalculate, bitch I return
Redefine, re-energize, get reacquainted
Read 'em kids incorporated, roots we made it
